Second getting the Beowulf.
I killed two deer with the Rainier HP last winter; they worked quite well. Feeding is just fine out of a cheap 20 round Thermold mag, and components are plentiful. Recoil is much milder than my Guide Gun.
Quite a few guys up here are using the .450 now that the state is allowing use of “pistol-caliber carbines”, as long as it is a straight-wall case. Apparently the proprietary Bushmaster magazine is the way to go with that round, as guys were having trouble feeding it from standard 5.56 mags.
